Verdict

Not the strongest of renewals but MISTER SKETCH looked potentially smart when a wide-margin winner at Salisbury so could be the way to go. There wasn't much between Seven Questions and Array when placed in the Sirenia Stakes at Kempton 2 weeks ago and they head the dangers.

  1. MISTER SKETCH
  2. SEVEN QUESTIONS (IRE)
  3. ARRAY (IRE)
